"Davis, to reconnoitre the position held by tho Modocs at the timo - of -the attack on Capt. Thomas, to report on their strongth, snd to ascertain if seible whether they received reinforcements, The squaws returned yesterday, having been ac- cordingly eighteen hours without water. Th saw 0o Modocs, their idea being that Capt. Jac! had_left for some other point where water is obtained. On receipt of this informa- tion the Warm upfin‘i; Indisns, under Donald McKsy, were ordered out with instructions to push forward to the point above eliuded to, and discover the Modoc8, The large fires men- tioned in the foregoing were signals from Capt. DcKay that the Modocs had vacated their forti- fications and had gone to_some other point not definable just now. On the observation of the fire signl!s orders immediately issued for Has- bouck’s Light Battery B, ~of tho- Fourth Artillery, and all tho availsble cavlh;y on the other sido of the beds, also the Warm Bpring Indians, to beready to leave Mason's camp early to-morrow morning for the purpose of scouring the lava bods east and southeast of Tule Lake, 60 that the Modocs may be found shonld they -have secreted themselves. The troops ordered to move will carry five days' ra- tions, Tho sbove order necessarily counter- manded that by which the cavalry and artillery were ordered to this camp, which has been re- ferred to. The igdications now are that tho Modocs are entirely out of the beds, but in what direction they have gone or whether they are gone singly, in small bands or enl masse, it is impossibie to surmise. The Warm Springs are reported to have found the bodies of Lieut. Cranston and three of our soldiers. They also found two dead Modocs in tho vicinity first mentioned. A portion of the command 'go out’ to-morrow for the purpose of bringing in the bodies of Lieut. Cranston and those who died with him on the field. . BAN FRANCIECO, May 9.—Wm.

Yesterdny’s Concerts at Exposition Hall—The Festival a Success flasics nlly and Kinancially—A Deserved Tribute to:the Indomitable Organe izer and Lender of the Affnir. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Trivune. | Cm¥omvxatt, O., May 9.—The great musical festival is virtually at an end. The incessant rains of the past two days, and the drenching storms of to-dsy, have rendered it impossible to give the open air musical fete, and 80, in place of it, a concert will be given in the Exposition Hall to-morrow afternoon, and a ball in the evening. The programme for the concert has been extemporized from the week's music, 80 that nonovelty willattach toit. The chorus has ,Also dwindled down, 8o that only light music can be performed. Financially, the festival has been 60 far .a success that mno sssessments will bomade upon the guaranty fund. Of ita musical success there can be but one opinion. With the exception, perhaps, of “the New York festival, last week, it is the E;:m'd. e o est musical event which has ever taken pl America, and it is inthe highest degree ¢ - ble to Cincinnati, not only that it should have furnished s chorus whichin quality even sur- passes the Handel and Haydn Sociaty, but that 1t should bave carried through and ‘supported tho festival in such a handsome manner. The New. York and the Cincinnati festivals, both of which owe their success to Mr. Thomas, are the firat well-considered and legitimate stops towards elevating the musical stapdard in this ccuntry by pagnhnzm the :works of the best composers. m:lyueé with the two Boston Jubilees, this festival lacked in numbers, in noise, in glitter, in the fascinating spectacle of agreat crowd, in the blowing of trumpets, marching of processions, and m that barbaric sensationalism which pleases ear, but leavee no agn after the glitter of the big how has’ faded away. It were useless to deny that there were many 'things in both the Boston Jubilees . which. had a passing musical value, and o few which will be long remembered by those who were there; but they added nothing to mueic in their general re- sulis. When the ripples subsided, the etream went flowing on 28 it did before. j “It is already plain to see that this festival is bound to exert & mighty influence upon the mau- *| causes which have combined -to produce_this [ and ho has been 88 true as steel to the cause laced en |” sical character of the West. After such perform- ances, N0 memory remains of the unwieldy Bos- ton multitude, of the mnoise of artillery and anvils, of the harlequinades of Strauss or .the clash and clang of Paulus' an Baro's men. There are two great success. The ono liea in the stern disci- pline which Mr, Thomas has employed ; the othor in the character of the music which has been performed.. Mr. Thomss has been 8 musi- cal Omsar from the start, and has exerclsod his functions with an _sarbitrary and imperions will, which admitted of no alternative but obedience; of music. He hda never been s doubting ‘Thomas, 6ven when the sky looked thoe black- eat; has never abated the fraction of & ‘heir, even when it seemed ' as if financial faituro must be the result. When ho was first approached on the subject of giving the fostival, the only stipulation which he made was that he should haye nothing to do with the ex- ecutive business, but that of every musical de- tail, even the smallest, he should have absolnte control. He bag exercised that control witha royal dotermination, which has now and then been sorely trying ' to Cincinnati pride. Tho choral forces were at first placed undér 4 local -master for rohearsal: A few weeks after, Mr. Thomas made s visit to "Oin- cinnati - o . seo what . progress his singers wero making, and found them leading the conductor instead of being led by him, Ho at once disposed of him ; went to New York and sent out Otto- Bivger, s most sccomplished musician and disciplinarian. He bronght order outof the chaos. He inspired them with enthusiasm, and. by almost incessant work with them day and night of tho most fatiguing kind he made the festival o possibility. It must bo remombered that this chorus is composed of rural societies, to. whom the music was new, - and thot the muslo is also extremely difficylt. g‘ha dn&r_ufis irasm the “Datfingvn“l“av ll)eum," 4 inf jymphony, ‘the alpurgis Night,” and “Orpheus,” ‘are simply gigmnc, and that these crudo societies of bucolic singers should not only have mastered their intricacies, but should have been able to deliver them with such fine precision and nicaty of expression; and with such indomitable zeal after so many weeks of wearing toil by day sod night, seems well-nigh & miracle. To have conquored the choruses of any one of theso works was a greater task than all the choruses of the last Boston festival combined. The Isbor « of the orchestra’ has been fully- s .arduous, notwithstanding the excollence and skill of Thomas' men, who comprise one-half the players, and somo of their most dificult pumbers Lave had to be plsyed after o whole morning’s rehearsal and an after- noon concert, but they have done their work with superb ‘finish. The matinee to-day was wall attended, not- withstanding tho dreadful weather. Tho pro- gramme was the best yet given, but its perform- ance was at times badly marred by the perform- anco of the elements outside. In one instance the effect was sublime. This was in the performance of the ‘Leonora” over- turo, which was given with a thunder- accompaniment. _During tha rest which follows the trumpot peal the tiunder rumbled in a8 perfectly in fime and keeping with tho senti- ment of the overture as if Beethoven had scored the part for an army of double basses, and all f.hmnfl: the work its peals made a splendid back- sroun The best features of the matinee were Ru- dolphsen’s excellent singing of the aria, © 0, Lord have Mercy,” from Mendelssohn’s *8t. Panl; " the exquisite andante and scherzo from Schubert's symphony in C; the Kaiser Harch,” in which the choral was _taken with ~tremendous power by the basses, especially tho stringa; Miss Cary’s singing of the Page's Song in “The Hugaenots,” and tho “Tell” overture. S After the concert was over, the New York drilimaster was called into the chorus-room b the chorus, and presented with an elegant wuLcK and chain, 28 o testimonial of their esteem, and & souvenir of the festival. The evoning_concort was_attended by over 6.000 people. Every available inch of standing room was o@niiud, and the enthusiasm was un- bounded. e~ chorus was not guite 8o large as on former nights, but was still very effective. The performance opened with the vorsplel to the +* Meistersmnger,” tho intensaly dramatic pasesges of which Wore bronght out with immense force. Althougha great success with the musicians, who are cari- ous in studying effects, still it can hardly be enid to have made ® very deep impres- sion upon the sudience, although it was beartily applauded, as the Cincinnatians are resolved to be pleased with everything, The socond number was Schubert’s *‘Twenty-third Dealm,” which is written for female voices, only it is not a piece very well adapted for a large building snd . an audienco - like this, as its harmonies are very close, and’ some of 1ts finest points are lost; butit affords an opportunity to test the quality of the sopranos and altog, and ‘they stood thetest. In freshness, richness and ro- finement thero is no other chorus in this country t0 equal them. One year of drilling would place them above all others in every reepect. The third number was Beethoven’s great arja, ““the Ah! Perfido,” which was sung by Mrs. Dexter. Itis in reality tho first time that her voico and gen- eral ability havo been thoroughly tested, and it is only truth to ssy that she did not stand the test. She has not the method or the calibre to sing such s great dramatic air, and in addition to this she develo] a constant tremolo in the voice which must be fatal to any important offort. The total result of her smg- ing in the festival has only shown that she is a g00d socity singer, with a'high eoprano oico of good g\;ality and moderate power. She is far from being an artist, with all her vocal abilities, ‘which are above the amateur average. Tho first part of the programmo closed with Liszt's *Tasso,”. tho lament and triumph of which, a8 _expressed by the orchestra, wero o graphic tone-pictare.. The tremendous power of the basses and double basecs, and the clearness and omghuifi of the violins and 'ce]los, told with splendid effect, and somo of the chords were fuirly startling. After the * Tassd,” J ugfie Matthews took the stage, and, after a bricf aliusion to the remarka- ble success which had rosulted in every detail of the fostival, he read an appeal, signed by numer- ous citizens, to the Executive Committee, asking that this festival bo made an snnual ovent here- aftor, which was greeted with_enthusiastio ap- plause. The Judze then put the matter to vote, and it was carried by a tremendous ‘‘ aye.” George Ward Nichols, Esq., the Président of the festival, then made o few remarks in the Convention, of which he tendered the thanks of the Committeo to all who had participated in the festival. ‘Theodore Thomsas was then loudly called for, and, upon making his appearance, received an enthusiastic ovation. In one respect Thomas resembles President :Grant. His speech was very short, and was 8s follows: “If I had the sbility to speak I ehould have a great deal to B3y i’hs concert closed with the “WHW Night,” and the ¢ Hallalnjiah Chorus,” Miss Cary, and Messrs. Rudolphsen, Whitney, and Varléy taking the sclog in the former, It por- formance was an oxcellent one, and the_chorus, 88 usual, acquitted iteelf irably in their highly dramatic numbers. - he great festival, whichnow closes, has been & great success. Other festivals will follow it. .| Chicago mus{ prepare herself for one some time. s —_— ‘War Department Weather Prognostis cations. : ‘WasarxatoN, D.

Speculations Concerning the Succes- sion to the Chief Jus- ticeship. Number and Gonditiofi of the Exist- ing Gold Banks, Large Increase of Revenue from the Tax on Cigars. Special Dispalch to Ths Chicago Tribuné, THE SUCCESSION TO THE QRISF JUSTICESIIP. ‘Wasmvaroy, D. C., May 9.—The great tdpic of comment, both here and in legal circles gen- érally thronghout the country, is the nomination of & successor to Chief Justice Chase. If this vacancy had occurred one year . sgo, there is no doubt but that the President would have made Lis selection from the United States Senate. Theré were then threa Senators. who vied with each other for s place on the Supreme Bench. These were Conkling; Howe, and Edmunds. The terms of two of these Senators, Howe and Conkling, were then on tho point of expiration. Bofar as Copkling was concerned, he had no hopes of being returned. Inthe eloction then about to ensue New York was regarded hopeless- 1y Democratio, by a majority? at least - 50,000, and Conkling's smbition for public life dought refuge in & position on the Supreme Bonch, even in the capacity of an Associate Jus- tice. Benator Howe was noarly in the same posi- tion. The threatened German revolt from the Republican’ party in Wisconsin was regarded as strong enough to elact 8 Democratic Legislature which wonld return. s Senator from that State, and Mr. Howe labored to escape from the ob- scurity of private life by also intriguing for a Supreme Bonch position. On the San Domingo question, at one timo; ho was connted in the op- position to, this Administration scheme, along ith Trambull, Schorz, Ferry, of Connecticat, and Bumner. When the movement was made in cancus to depose Sumner from the Chair- manship of the * Committee on Foreign Relations, Howo gave Sumner to under- stand that” he would nover vote for or support in any way such a contemptible scheme. His subsequent action as Cheirman of the Cau- cns Committes which performed the disreputa- ble act, and his course on 8an Domingo annex- ation, were as much of a rise to all who witnessed them as was that which was felt when Logan repudiated his Liberal asaociates in the Benate last =pring; and came ont in s violent speech in faver of Grant's renomination at Philadelphia. His whole political’ course for two yoars has been actuated by a desite to clothe himself with the political ermine by ex+ cessive obsequionsness to the Execative. By reason of the action of the Senate increasing tho salaries of the Jt ndge! of the Supreme Court one year ago,all three of the Benators at that timewere Qisqualified from receiving this jullicial appoint- ment by reason of the constitutional provision which prohibits the appointment_of Congress: men to office, tho salanes of which may have been increased during their respective terms. Edmunds is still disqualified by- this provision, as the timo f6r which he wna elected, and during which he voted for such increase, fiaa not yot dxpired. Conkling and Howe have enterednpon new ferms, however, and, in contemplation of law, escape the constifutional restriction in this’ direction. ' So far as Conkling .is concorned, having just been ro-elected for'a torm of six years com- mencing from the ith of March last, it is donbt- fal if Lio now wishes the position.

Tho South has s pr e of its own to fill tho vacancy. _Politicians from that section urge that the President make Associate Justice Miller Chief Justice, and then sesign some representa- tive Bonthern Republican like Judge Settle or ex-Senator Pool, to the vacancy thereby occa- gioned. ‘When the President was in Chicago, he con- sulted with several of the leading citizons thero with re&u’d to this vacancy. He admitted that it was the most difficult and important appoint- ment he had yetto desl with, and ho said he thought he would take eoveral months to delib- erate and consult about the metter. He eaid that this sppointment should not be & political onoe if he could help it, and that it would not probn):{ be made nntil just before Congress as- sembl GOLD BANES. 4 There are now in exiatence, five gold banks, two of which are at San Francisco, one at Stock- ton, ona st Sacramento, and one at Santa Ba- vara, California, the latter having been author- ized to-day o organizo under the act of 1870, with n capital of $100,000.
